I'm having to flip between archery and shooting, thank god for the previous channel button

 

[Mr Cola]

I must admit I've been wondering about the boxing a bit, we usually get a few good contenders in it, but other than a few "Magnificent 7" trails at the start of the Olympics I've not seen all that much. Of those seven, how many are left?

Im sure the guy said 6 in the Agogo fight, could be wrong though ive not kept up with it

 

[Randdalf]

Come on Peter Robert Russell Wilson, show these granddads what's what.

 

[mclem]

omg, so much going on now. Shooting and Table Tennis finals going on too

Canoeing in a few minutes too, and the Judo final for Gemma.

 

[Peru]

Let's see if the Mexicans can pull off perfect sets vs each other. Probably not if the shifting wind keeps up.

 

[ag-my001]

Was the third Mexican archer that weak? They lost to Japan by 10 points.

 

[SaintZ]

I can't @ Mex Vs Mex ;___; so proud of them

 

[Keyser Soze]

no the brit missed one

His K/D ratio is still high. I think he will be fine

 

[Good Job Bob]

Looks like KBB will have the gold.

 

[Kikujiro]

Wind messin up the Mexican archers too.

 

[Zaph]

The "USA USA" chants at the archery competition are very uncouth.

Yeah, it's almost like they're parodying themselves. Not sure if they understand the importance of silence during concentration based sports.

 

[Brazil]

I wouldn't have guessed that in an ocean of praise for them my two joke posts would have offended you so much.

What can I say? I don't like people who barge in and randomly try to offend others because of their taste in women.

But now you know.

 

[Koodo]

A Mexican non-Mexican-stand-off.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Mexican civil war

fought with arrows

 

[D_prOdigy]

Oh god, the shooting. How do they do it? And how do the commentators act like having a three shot lead is so massive? HOW DO THEY HIT ANY OF THEM EVER?

 

[Good Job Bob]

The "USA USA" chants at the archery competition are very uncouth.

Other countries don't chant?

 

[Simplet]

Hopefully Tsonga keeps that break in the second set

Other countries don't chant?

Actually no I don't think so, what other countries do that?

 

[Adamm]

Looks like KBB will have the gold.

It was never in doubt

 

[Brazil]

And now Tsonga leads the second set against Djokovic 3-0.

What the hell.

 

[Hoo-doo]

The Netherlands wins the NED/CHI women's hockey match.

 

[Monroeski]

What can I say? I don't like people who barge in and randomly try to offend others because of their taste in women.

But now you know.

"Barge in?" Wish we still had a laughing smiley. You are taking this way too seriously.

 

[Koodo]

Oh lawd, they both have the same coach?

Awkward.

 

[nny]

They share the coach...what will he do, support none of them?

 

[Kjellson]

Anyone else notice that the non-Asian archers have Asian coaches? I'm moving to Korea.

 

[Mr Cola]

good shooting, cant help but hear him calling "MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" when he asks for a pull :O

 

[Brazil]

Oh lawd, they both have the same coach?

Awkward.

Haha, yeah. He's probably just like, "Welp."

 

[ag-my001]

Oh lawd, they both have the same coach?

Awkward.

Only if he tells one to throw the match.

 

[Peru]

Actually no I don't think so, what other countries do that?

The Korean fans are chanting De-han-min-gug all the time.

 

[masud]

Damn thats too bad about Lorig. Tunisa giving Argentina a game in basketball, tied at halftime.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Actually no I don't think so, what other countries do that?

They do, you just can't understand it.

The Koreans and Mexicans have been chanting as well.

 

[AngryMoth]

Oh, didn't realise Tsonga vs Djoker was on right now as well. 1-0 in sets to Novak but Tsonga a break up in the 2nd. Murray will have a much better chance against Tsonga so I'm rooting for him

 

[mclem]

It amuses me that there's an order of magnitude difference between the audience responses between the first five shooters doing well and the Brit doing well!

 

[Kikujiro]

Anyone else notice that the non-Asian archers have Asian coaches? I'm moving to Korea.

Gonna buy dat Korean technology.

 

[ghostmind]

I'm not used to seeing the competitors high-five each other between sets.

 

[Keyser Soze]

USA is the only country I have ever heard chanting the name of their own country

 

[Adamm]

I'm avoiding archery until I get home from work.

Want to watch final on TV instead of my phone screen, even if its not live. So I'll miss out celebrating KB B's victory with you's

 

[Zaph]

The Korean fans are chanting De-han-min-gug all the time.

They do, you just can't understand it.

The Koreans and Mexicans have been chanting as well.

It's not about the chanting itself, it's when they were chanting that was bothering people (and possible the athletes).

 

[StealthGoblin]

I'm enjoying the shooting, but for fucks sake, it takes ages.

Why do they have to shoot so many damn targets?

 

[Simplet]

They do, you just can't understand it.

The Koreans and Mexicans have been chanting as well.

I know other countries cheer, it's the chanting part that I'm not sure about. But if you guys say Koreans do it then ok.

edit : I think I remember Japanese people chanting "Nippon Nippon", that's true

 

[Good Job Bob]

USA is the only country I have ever heard chanting the name of their own country

It's the only one you can recognize.

 

[davidsaurus]

It amuses me that there's an order of magnitude difference between the audience responses between the first five shooters doing well and the Brit doing well!

How amusing that a home crowd cheer louder for their competitor.

 

[Keyser Soze]

K/D ratio dropping - again!

 

[Hoo-doo]

USA is the only country I have ever heard chanting the name of their own country

The dutch chant "HOLLAND HOLLAND" all the time.
I think the point was that it was yelled during the moment where the athlete tries to concentrate in complete silence, which is kind of a dick move.

 

[Willkiller]

I'm enjoying the shooting, but for fucks sake, it takes ages.

Why do they have to shoot so many damn targets?

When does it actually end? 200?

[Tennis]
Feliciano and Ferrer pass to the semis in doubles.

 

[Koodo]

Aida sends a CLEAR MESSAGE.

 

[nny]

Heh, coaching both archers at the same time.

 

[-Eddman-]

Was the third Mexican archer that weak? They lost to Japan by 10 points.

The funny thing is that Alejandra Valencia, the third mexican archer was the Gold Medal winner at the Pan American Games last year, and Román won bronze. I was there and certainly expected a lot more from Valencia this year.

Great for Mexico, these girls shut my mouth, because I wasn't expecting any more medals outside of diving, and I'm glad they did.

 

[inky]

Dat 10. Oh man, both deserve to win T.T

 

[Mr Cola]

getting a bad feeling about this shooting now D:
